Was talking about music to a male coworker once, I mentioned I like Radiohead, and he asked me “don’t you mean Motörhead?” even after I said no, he just kept talking about Motörhead.. 😐

Setting : NYC. Just after I got married, my in-laws introduced me to a friend. "This is our new d-i-l. She's from Australia." Their friend: "Well if it's as beautiful as it looked in The Sound of Music it must be a wonderful place."

My friend and I were on our way to see ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ and he said he was looking forward to the film because he liked Russian spy stories🤔. So I said “Prada not Pravda” and realised why he’d agreed to go with me to see a fashion film😉. He didn’t enjoy it!

I was in NYC. Someone in a business mtg asked where I was from. I said, Iowa." And without missing a beat a snooty woman said – very condescendingly, "Oh, Honey. Out here it's pronounced Ohio."

It feels like the time I found a biography of the marquis de Sade in the music section, because they thought it was about the musician Sade.
